Aeromagnetic and gravity studies of theprecambrian in northeastern New Mexico
G. E. Andreasen, M. F. Kane, I. Zietz
1962, Geophysics (27) 343-358
A contour map of the Precambrian surface for a part of northeastern New Mexico has been prepared from aeromagnetic, gravity, and drill-hole data. The area extends approximately from the Colorado border south to latitude34° N., and from the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains east to longitude 104° W. Thirty-seven...
Progress report on an international decade for hydrology
W. B. Langbein
1962, Article
As reported in the Transactions of March 1961 (p. 96), the ad hoc Panel on Hydrology convened to report on ways of stimulating research in scientific hydrology, recommended a program of international cooperation in hydrology—more specifically a plan for an ‘International Decade for Hydrology,’ as drawn for the Panel by R. L. Nace....
Paleozoic seas of central Idaho
Clyde P. Ross
1962, Geological Society of America Bulletin (73) 769-793
Some recent paleogeographic maps indicate that central Idaho was part of a major geosyncline throughout Paleozoic time. This concept, apparently based on thick marine accumulations far apart on the margins of the region, is inconsistent with field data. Within the area of the Idaho batholith, Permian(?) volcanic rocks rest either on batholithic rocks...
Magnetic anomalies and magnetizations of the Biwabik iron-formation, Mesabi area, Minnesota
G. D. Bath
1962, Geophysics (27) 627-650
In a study of the relationship of magnetic anomalies to the magnetite content and structure of layered Precambrian iron-formations, the effective induced and remanent magnetizations of the Biwabik iron-formation were determined by analyses of aeromagnetic anomalies recorded 1,000 ft above the Biwabik in areas of known geology. The induced magnetization along the layers is relatively insignificant...
Analysis of present geomagnetic field for comparison with paleomagnetic results
Allan Cox
1962, Journal of Geomagnetism & Geoelectricity (13) 101-112
Both the dipole and nondipole components of the present geomagnetic field are analyzed by calculating the orientation of hypothetical geocentric dipoles which, if acting alone, would produce the present geomagnetic field as observed at points on a grid covering the earth at 10° intervals. The dispersion in direction of these virtual geomagnetic poles...
Erosion on miniature pediments in badlands national monument, South Dakota
S. A. Schumm
1962, Bulletin of the Geological Society of America (73) 719-724
Measurements of erosion on miniature pediments in Badlands National Monument, South Dakota, show that during almost eight years, the pediments were lowered by sheetwash. The adjacent hillslopes have retreated leaving a belt of newly formed pediment from 6 to 12 cm wide at their bases. The hillslopes are rough and relatively permeable; the <span...
Tertiary landslides, northwestern South Dakota and Southeastern Montana
J. R. Gill
1962, Bulletin of the Geological Society of America (73) 725-735
Landslide blocks of latest Oligocene or earliest Miocene age are preserved at several localities in northwestern South Dakota and southeastern Montana. These tilted blocks contain Late Cretaceous to late Oligocene rocks and are unconformably overlain by nearly horizontal strata of the Arikaree Formation of Miocene age. Undisturbed rocks of late Oligocene...
Experimental propagation of lymphocystis disease of fishes
K. Wolf
1962, Virology (18) 249-256
The agent of lymphocystis disease has been propagated under laboratory conditions for more than 2 years. Although several hatchery-propagated centrarchids are susceptible, the bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) is the host of choice because it is most easily maintained. At 12.5° the disease was transmitted by implantation and by injection, but there...
Mechanics of a small landslide block, Wattener Lizum, Austria
David A. Brew
1962, GSA Bulletin (73) 1277-1280
A small landslide block left a trail about 81 meters long on an 11½-degree slope in the Tuxer Voralpen, Austria. The movement is explained in terms of fluid pressure mechanics; hypothetically, the requisite pore pressure was caused by the loading of contiguous saturated segments of the slide path during rapid...
Temperature correction in conductivity measurements
Stanford H. Smith
1962, Limnology and Oceanography (7) 330-334
Electrical conductivity has been widely used in freshwater research but usual methods employed by limnologists for converting measurements to conductance at a given temperature have not given uniformly accurate results. The temperature coefficient used to adjust conductivity of natural waters to a given temperature varies depending on the kinds...
Established eurythermic line of fish cells in vitro
K. Wolf, M. C. Quimby
1962, Science (135) 1065-1066
An established line of fish cells has been propagated in vitro for 21 months and 48 subcultivations. Important characteristics of the cells are described....
Glass electrodes sensitive to divalent cations
R.M. Garrels, M. Sato, M.E. Thompson, A.H. Truesdell
1962, Science (135) 1045-1048
Glass electrodes suitable for measurement of divalent cations have been made and tested. Empirical and theoretical electrode equations have been presented to describe electrode behavior in a variety of aqueous solutions. Most electrodes show response interpretable as showing nearly ideal solid-solution behavior of the cations in the glass surface. The...

Correlation of the Carrizo Sand in Arkansas and adjacent states
R. L. Hosman
1962, Geological Society of America Bulletin (73) 389-394
The Carrizo Sand (Eocene), the basal unit of the Claiborne Group, can be recognized in the subsurface throughout much of southeastern Arkansas and is correlated with the Carrizo Sand of Louisiana and the Meridian Sand Member of the Tallahatta Formation of Mississippi. The term Carrizo Sand is appropriate for use in Arkansas, as the stratigraphic terminology...
Preliminary geologic report on the 1961 U.S. expedition to Bellingshausen Sea, Antarctica
Avery A. Drake Jr.
1962, Science (135) 671-672
Five areas of outcrop were examined along 120 miles of the coast of the Bellingshausen Sea east of the Thurston Peninsula. Hornblende quartz diorite is the principal rock in the area and occurs in a body of batholithic dimensions. The quartz diorite contains inclusions of older granulitic rock and is...

Lava tree molds of the September 1961 eruption, Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii
James G. Moore, D.H. Richter
1962, GSA Bulletin (73) 1153-1158
Well-developed lava tree molds were formed during the September 1961 eruption along the east rift zone of Kilauea Volcano. The upright molds were produced where fluid lava, flowing through dense tropical forest, became chilled against the larger trees and tree ferns and later drained away. Where the lava ponded temporarily...
Metallic spherules in tektites from Isabela, Philippine Islands
E. C. T. Chao, I. Adler, E.J. Dwornik, J. Littler
1962, Science (135) 97-98
Iron-nickel spherules, as much as 0.5 mm in diameter, have been found completely embedded in some philippinites. The spherules consist mainly of kamacite with unidentified pink inclusions. The meteoritic origin of these spherules seems reasonable, suggesting that the tektites containing them were formed by asteroidal or meteoritic impact....
